Like the Optimus case, the case where investors suffered a lot of damage and suspicion of lobbying was raised is the suspension of Lime Fund sales.

Former Chairman Kim Bong-Hyun, a key figure in the Lime crisis, came to a trial last week and claimed to have handed 50 million won to former Blue House chief Kang Gi-jeon.

Former chairman Kim Bong-hyun also said in court that a member of the National Assembly called the Financial Supervisory Service saying that he would help him.

Former Star Mobility Chairman Kim Bong-Hyun, a key figure in the'Lime Incident', said, "On that day, with the introduction of former Uri Party deputy spokesman Kim Mo, his aunt and Lime Vice President Lee Jong-pil visited the National Assembly Hall and met Democratic Democrat Kim Mo." It was confirmed that I made a statement to the prosecution in June.



When former chairman Kim Bong-hyun said, "Should you not have to express an official position at the Financial Supervisory Service that there is no problem with rhyme?", Congressman Kim said, "I will call the Chief Financial Supervisory Service and the Vice-Chairman, and then spoke in front of him twice." Former Chairman Kim stated.



In addition, "I heard Congressman Kim on the phone call,'If the local fund Lime Fund product is blocked from selling at the bank, should the FSC have to solve it?'. After hung up, he said,'It seems that the FSS is not starting a intensive investigation.' "I said.



However, Congressman Kim strongly denied to the SBS reporter today that "I have never called the Chief Financial Officer."



However, he did not answer the question that asked if he was meeting former chairman Kim Bong-hyun and his party that day, or if he called another FSS official.



Financial Supervisory Commissioner Yoon Seok-heon explained to SBS, "I have no memory and no data on the related matter."



Former Blue House chief political officer Kang Ki-jeong sued the prosecution on charges of perjury and defamation of former chairman Kim Bong-hyun, who testified in court that he had handed 50 million won to him.
